I don’t see any way the Knights get more value than what they paid. They are not in a sell high situation especially due to the age of Pacioretty and flat cap.
Basically the Knights gave up what equates to 2 1st, 2 2nd and a 3rd for 20 games of Tatar and 5 seasons of Pacioretty where the last 4 were at a $7M cap hit.
I would love if the Flames could get a trade for Gaudreau and have it work out like the Pacioretty trade has worked out for the Habs

I personally think it doesn't make sense to consider acquisition cost. It's kind of a sunk-cost fallacy. If Vegas can trade Pacioretty and improve their team now and in the future, they should consider it, even if the out column is bigger than the in column
